Early in the movie, Mileena voices her concern to Shang Tsung about what will happen if Raiden discovers they are " breaking rules set in stone by the Elder Gods" by killing the champions of Earthrealm before the tournament begins. Strangely enough, despite Raiden's overseeing the training of the champions of Earthrealm, it is the villains of the film who speak the most of the Elder Gods and their role in the Mortal Kombat Tournament. This makes sense, however, given that in the original video games the Elder Gods took a vow against interfering in the affairs of mortals beyond certain prescribed roles, such as Raiden's role as the celestial defender of Earthrealm. Yet the movie says almost nothing about them and none of them make an appearance apart from Raiden, who is a lesser god of thunder. The 2021 Mortal Kombat movie briefly mentions the Elder Gods the cosmic beings who created the Mortal Kombat Tournament.
